Today, I want to talk to you about … feelings of rejection. As a Christian, how do we handle these times when we feel like we have been rejected, that whatever it is that we really wanted to happen, didn’t happen.

How a Rejection Makes Us Feel

We doubt ourselves. We think something is wrong with us.

Recently, I went through an experience like this, and no matter how much I know better, I still have those gut-wrenching feelings of “What’s wrong with me?”

When the truth is, there is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with me.

The truth is… the situation was not God’s will. God sees the big picture.

We can only see….this much. [Holds up fingers and thumbs close together indicating “a tiny bit.”]

So whatever it is, we need to take a deep breath. We need to realize and remember that God is in control.

How Christ-centered Yoga Helps

So Christ-centered yoga is a wonderful way we can work through these types of feelings.

Not only is it wonderful for our physical bodies, for our flexibility and our strength, but our emotions, which are part of our bodies as well - our minds.

It can help us work through these painful feelings and help us understand, really understand that God is in control.

So please check out the video that I have made here [indicating the video “Christ-centered Yoga for Coping with Rejection and Disappointment”] that I have made to help you work through any feelings you may be having of rejection or disappointment.

Why Christ-centered Yoga Will Make You Feel Better

It will make you feel better - Christ-centered yoga - because Christ is making you feel better!

We need to know what His will for us is, and … focusing in, praying, studying His word, and moving our bodies at the same time is the best way I know how to do that.

So please … give it a try!
